Paulo Gazzaniga, normally on the bench if he's even lucky enough to make Southampton's team sheet, will feature between the posts when the Saints visit Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The surprise start is the result of an injury that Maarten Stekelenburg suffered two days ago.
"Stekelenburg is not fit," manager Ronald Koeman said. "He got a toe injury on Thursday."
Gazzaniga joined Southampton from Gillingham over three years ago. In September, he extended his contract with the Saints until 2019.
